 Finding something to do
-=======================
+#######################
 
 If you already know what you'd like to work on, you can skip this section.
 
 If you have an idea for something to do, first check if it's already been filed on the `issue tracker`_. If so, add a comment to the issue saying you'd like to work on it, and we'll help you get started! Otherwise, please file a new issue and assign yourself to it.
 
-Another great way to start contributing is by writing tests. Tests are really important because they help prevent developers from accidentally breaking existing code, allowing them to build cool things faster. If you're interested in helping out, let the development team know by posting to the `Telegram group`_, and we'll help you get started.

-Documenting
-===========
-
-The documentation of this project is separated in two sections: User facing and dev facing.
-
-User facing docs are hosted at `RTD`_. They are the main way the users of our library are supposed to get information about the objects. They don't care about the internals, they just want to know
-what they have to pass to make it work, what it actually does. You can/should provide examples for non obvious cases (like the Filter module), and notes/warnings.
-
-Dev facing, on the other side, is for the devs/maintainers of this project. These
-doc strings don't have a separate documentation site they generate, instead, they document the actual code.
-
-User facing documentation
--------------------------
-We use `sphinx`_ to generate static HTML docs. To build them, first make sure you're running Python 3.10 or above and have the required dependencies installed as explained above.
-Then, run the following from the PTB root directory:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-   $ make -C docs html
-
-or, if you don't have ``make`` available (e.g. on Windows):
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-   $ sphinx-build docs/source docs/build/html
-
-Once the process terminates, you can view the built documentation by opening ``docs/build/html/index.html`` with a browser.

This only applies if the change you made is visible to an end user. The directives should be added to class/method descriptions if their general behaviour changed and to the description of all arguments & attributes that changed.
-
-Dev facing documentation
-------------------------
-We adhere to the `CSI`_ standard. This documentation is not fully implemented in the project, yet, but new code changes should comply with the `CSI` standard.
-The idea behind this is to make it very easy for you/a random maintainer or even a totally foreign person to drop anywhere into the code and more or less immediately understand what a particular line does. This will make it easier
-for new to make relevant changes if said lines don't do what they are supposed to.

+In addition to the pure API implementation, this library features a number of high-level classes to
 make the development of bots easy and straightforward. These classes are contained in the
 ``telegram.ext`` submodule.
 
-After installing_ the library, be sure to check out the section on `working with PTB`_.
+A pure API implementation *without* ``telegram.ext`` is available as the standalone package ``python-telegram-bot-raw``.  `See here for details. <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/v13.x/README_RAW.rst>`_
 
+----
+Note
+----
+
+Installing both ``python-telegram-bot`` and ``python-telegram-bot-raw`` in conjunction will result in undesired side-effects, so only install *one* of both.
+
+====================
 Telegram API support
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+====================
 
-All types and methods of the Telegram Bot API **9.0** are natively supported by this library.
-In addition, Bot API functionality not yet natively included can still be used as described `in our wiki <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Bot-API-Forward-Compatibility>`_.
-
-Notable Features
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-- `Fully asynchronous <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Concurrency>`_
-- Convenient shortcut methods, e.g. `Message.reply_text <https://docs.python-telegram-bot.org/en/stable/telegram.message.html#telegram.Message.reply_text>`_
-- `Fully annotated with static type hints <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Type-Checking>`_
-- `Customizable and extendable interface <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Architecture>`_
-- Seamless integration with `webhooks <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Webhooks>`_ and `polling <https://docs.python-telegram-bot.org/en/stable/telegram.ext.application.html#telegram.ext.Application.run_polling>`_
-- `Comprehensive documentation and examples <#working-with-ptb>`_
+All types and methods of the Telegram Bot API **6.1** are supported.

+You can install or upgrade python-telegram-bot with:
 
 .. code:: shell
 
     $ pip install python-telegram-bot --upgrade
 
-To install a pre-release, use the ``--pre`` `flag <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_install/#cmdoption-pre>`_ in addition.
-
-You can also install ``python-telegram-bot`` from source, though this is usually not necessary.
+Or you can install from source with:
 
 .. code:: shell
 
-    $ git clone https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot
+    $ git clone https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot --recursive

-You can also use your favored package manager (such as ``uv``, ``hatch``, ``poetry``, etc.) instead of ``pip``.
+.. code:: shell
 
-Verifying Releases
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-To enable you to verify that a release file that you downloaded was indeed provided by the ``python-telegram-bot`` team, we have taken the following measures.
-
-Starting with v21.4, all releases are signed via `sigstore <https://www.sigstore.dev>`_.
-The corresponding signature files are uploaded to the `GitHub releases page`_.
-To verify the signature, please install the `sigstore Python client <https://pypi.org/project/sigstore/>`_ and follow the instructions for `verifying signatures from GitHub Actions <https://github.com/sigstore/sigstore-python?tab=readme-ov-file>`_. As input for the ``--repository`` parameter, please use the value ``python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot``.
-
-Earlier releases are signed with a GPG key.
-The signatures are uploaded to both the `GitHub releases page`_ and the `PyPI project <https://pypi.org/project/python-telegram-bot/>`_ and end with a suffix ``.asc``.
-Please find the public keys `here <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/tree/master/public_keys>`_.
-The keys are named in the format ``<first_version>-<last_version>.gpg``.
-
-In addition, the GitHub release page also contains the sha1 hashes of the release files in the files with the suffix ``.sha1``.
-
-Dependencies & Their Versions
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-``python-telegram-bot`` tries to use as few 3rd party dependencies as possible.
-However, for some features using a 3rd party library is more sane than implementing the functionality again.
-As these features are *optional*, the corresponding 3rd party dependencies are not installed by default.
-Instead, they are listed as optional dependencies.
-This allows to avoid unnecessary dependency conflicts for users who don't need the optional features.
-
-The only required dependency is `httpx >=0.27,<0.29 <https://www.python-httpx.org>`_ for
-``telegram.request.HTTPXRequest``, the default networking backend.
-
-``python-telegram-bot`` is most useful when used along with additional libraries.
-To minimize dependency conflicts, we try to be liberal in terms of version requirements on the (optional) dependencies.
-On the other hand, we have to ensure stability of ``python-telegram-bot``, which is why we do apply version bounds.
-If you encounter dependency conflicts due to these bounds, feel free to reach out.
+    $ git submodule update --init --recursive

-Quick Start
-~~~~~~~~~~~
+-------------------
+Learning by example
+-------------------
 
-Our Wiki contains an `Introduction to the API <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Introduction-to-the-API>`_ explaining how the pure Bot API can be accessed via ``python-telegram-bot``.
-Moreover, the `Tutorial: Your first Bot <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Extensions---Your-first-Bot>`_ gives an introduction on how chatbots can be easily programmed with the help of the ``telegram.ext`` module.
+We believe that the best way to learn this package is by example. Here
+are some examples for you to review. Even if it is not your approach for learning, please take a
+look at ``echobot.py``, it is the de facto base for most of the bots out there. Best of all,
+the code for these examples are released to the public domain, so you can start by grabbing the
+code and building on top of it.
 
-Resources
-~~~~~~~~~
+Visit `this page <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/v13.x/examples/README.md>`_ to discover the official examples or look at the examples on the `wiki <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Examples>`_ to see other bots the community has built.
 
-- The `package documentation <https://docs.python-telegram-bot.org/>`_ is the technical reference for ``python-telegram-bot``.
-  It contains descriptions of all available classes, modules, methods and arguments as well as the `changelog <https://docs.python-telegram-bot.org/changelog.html>`_.
-- The `wiki <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/>`_ is home to number of more elaborate introductions of the different features of ``python-telegram-bot`` and other useful resources that go beyond the technical documentation.
-- Our `examples section <https://docs.python-telegram-bot.org/examples.html>`_ contains several examples that showcase the different features of both the Bot API and ``python-telegram-bot``.
-  Even if it is not your approach for learning, please take a look at ``echobot.py``. It is the de facto base for most of the bots out there.
-  The code for these examples is released to the public domain, so you can start by grabbing the code and building on top of it.
-- The `official Telegram Bot API documentation <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api>`_ is of course always worth a read.

-Getting help
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-If the resources mentioned above don't answer your questions or simply overwhelm you, there are several ways of getting help.
-
-1. We have a vibrant community of developers helping each other in our `Telegram group <https://telegram.me/pythontelegrambotgroup>`_. Join us! Asking a question here is often the quickest way to get a pointer in the right direction.
-
-2. Ask questions by opening `a discussion <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/discussions/new>`_.
-
-3. You can even ask for help on Stack Overflow using the `python-telegram-bot tag <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python-telegram-bot>`_.
-
-Concurrency
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Since v20.0, ``python-telegram-bot`` is built on top of Pythons ``asyncio`` module.
-Because ``asyncio`` is in general single-threaded, ``python-telegram-bot`` does currently not aim to be thread-safe.
-Noteworthy parts of ``python-telegram-bots`` API that are likely to cause issues (e.g. race conditions) when used in a multi-threaded setting include:
-
-* ``telegram.ext.Application/Updater.update_queue``
-* ``telegram.ext.ConversationHandler.check/handle_update``
-* ``telegram.ext.CallbackDataCache``
-* ``telegram.ext.BasePersistence``
-* all classes in the ``telegram.ext.filters`` module that allow to add/remove allowed users/chats at runtime

-
-Donating
---------
-Occasionally we are asked if we accept donations to support the development.
-While we appreciate the thought, maintaining PTB is our hobby, and we have almost no running costs for it. We therefore have nothing set up to accept donations.
-If you still want to donate, we kindly ask you to donate to another open source project/initiative of your choice instead.

+This library uses the ``logging`` module. To set up logging to standard output, put:
 
-.. _`GitHub releases page`: https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/releases
+.. code:: python
+
+    import logging
+    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
+                        format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
+
+at the beginning of your script.
+
+You can also use logs in your application by calling ``logging.getLogger()`` and setting the log level you want:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    logger = logging.getLogger()
+    logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
+
+If you want DEBUG logs instead:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

+Telegram API support
+====================
+
+All types and methods of the Telegram Bot API **6.1** are supported.
+
+==========
+Installing
+==========
+
+You can install or upgrade python-telegram-bot-raw with:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    $ pip install python-telegram-bot-raw --upgrade
+
+Or you can install from source with:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    $ git clone https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot --recursive
+    $ cd python-telegram-bot
+    $ python setup-raw.py install
+
+In case you have a previously cloned local repository already, you should initialize the added urllib3 submodule before installing with:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    $ git submodule update --init --recursive
+
+----
+Note
+----
+
+Installing the `.tar.gz` archive available on PyPi directly via `pip` will *not* work as expected, as `pip` does not recognize that it should use `setup-raw.py` instead of `setup.py`.
+
+---------------------
+Optional Dependencies
+---------------------
+
+PTB can be installed with optional dependencies:
+
+* ``pip install python-telegram-bot-raw[passport]`` installs the `cryptography <https://cryptography.io>`_ library. Use this, if you want to use Telegram Passport related functionality.
+* ``pip install python-telegram-bot-raw[ujson]`` installs the `ujson <https://pypi.org/project/ujson/>`_ library. It will then be used for JSON de- & encoding, which can bring speed up compared to the standard `json <https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html>`_ library.
+
+===============
+Getting started
+===============
+
+Our Wiki contains an `Introduction to the API <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Introduction-to-the-API>`_. Other references are:
+
+- the `Telegram API documentation <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api>`_
+- the `python-telegram-bot documentation <https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/>`_
+
+-------
+Logging
+-------
+
+This library uses the ``logging`` module. To set up logging to standard output, put:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import logging
+    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
+                        format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
+
+at the beginning of your script.
+
+You can also use logs in your application by calling ``logging.getLogger()`` and setting the log level you want:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    logger = logging.getLogger()
+    logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
+
+If you want DEBUG logs instead:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
+
+
+=============
+Documentation
+=============
+
+``python-telegram-bot``'s documentation lives at `readthedocs.io <https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/>`_, which
+includes the relevant documentation for ``python-telegram-bot-raw``.
+
+============
+Getting help
+============
+
+You can get help in several ways:
+
+1. We have a vibrant community of developers helping each other in our `Telegram group <https://telegram.me/pythontelegrambotgroup>`_. Join us!
+
+2. Report bugs, request new features or ask questions by `creating an issue <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/issues/new/choose>`_ or `a discussion <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/discussions/new>`_.
+
+3. Our `Wiki pages <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/>`_ offer a growing amount of resources.
+
+4. You can even ask for help on Stack Overflow using the `python-telegram-bot tag <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python-telegram-bot>`_.
+
+============
+Contributing
+============
+
+Contributions of all sizes are welcome. Please review our `contribution guidelines <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/v13.x/.github/CONTRIBUTING.rst>`_ to get started. You can also help by `reporting bugs <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/issues/new>`_.
+
+========
+Donating
+========
+Occasionally we are asked if we accept donations to support the development. While we appreciate the thought, maintaining PTB is our hobby and we have almost no running costs for it. We therefore have nothing set up to accept donations. If you still want to donate, we kindly ask you to donate to another open source project/initiative of your choice instead.

-This includes the following changes:
-
-- Removed ``filters.CHAT`` (all messages have an associated chat) and ``filters.StatusUpdate.USER_SHARED`` (use ``filters.StatusUpdate.USERS_SHARED`` instead).
-- Removed ``Defaults.disable_web_page_preview`` and ``Defaults.quote``. Use ``Defaults.link_preview_options`` and ``Defaults.do_quote`` instead.
-- Removed ``ApplicationBuilder.(get_updates_)proxy_url`` and ``HTTPXRequest.proxy_url``. Use ``ApplicationBuilder.(get_updates_)proxy`` and ``HTTPXRequest.proxy`` instead.
-- Removed the ``*_timeout`` arguments of ``Application.run_polling`` and ``Updater.start_webhook``. Instead, specify the values via ``ApplicationBuilder.get_updates_*_timeout``.
-- Removed ``constants.InlineQueryLimit.MIN_SWITCH_PM_TEXT_LENGTH``. Use ``constants.InlineQueryResultsButtonLimit.MAX_START_PARAMETER_LENGTH`` instead.
-- Removed the argument ``quote`` of ``Message.reply_*``. Use ``do_quote`` instead.
-- Removed the superfluous ``EncryptedPassportElement.credentials`` without replacement.
-- Changed attribute value of ``PassportFile.file_date`` from :obj:`int` to :class:`datetime.datetime`. Make sure to adjust your code accordingly.
-- Changed the attribute value of ``PassportElementErrors.file_hashes`` from :obj:`list` to :obj:`tuple`. Make sure to adjust your code accordingly.
-- Make ``BaseRequest.read_timeout`` an abstract property. If you subclass ``BaseRequest``, you need to implement this property.
-- The default value for ``write_timeout`` now defaults to ``DEFAULT_NONE`` also for bot methods that send media. Previously, it was ``20``. If you subclass ``BaseRequest``, make sure to use your desired write timeout if ``RequestData.multipart_data`` is set.
